Assignment Help with Design an Ethernet LAN

Project description

Design an Ethernet LAN for a given floor plan. The floor plan can be downloaded from VU Collaborate. In the given floor plan;

• Computer labs are highlighted in green. Each PC lab has 25 computers and a printer.
• Offices are highlighted in pink. Each office room has 4 computers and a printer.
• The technical room is highlighted in cyan where the main switches and routers are located.

Design requirements:

• Each PC lab is on a separate IP sub-network
• All office computers are on a single IP sub-network
• The LAN is connected to the main campus network and the Internet using a FastEthernet fiber optic link (100Base-FX). Assume that the default gateway address is 40.4.4.
• The LAN operates on a class A sub-network: 10x.1y0.0/23 where x, and y are the last two digits of the student ID of one of the group members.
  • For instance, if the last two digits are 09 then the subnet is 10.100.190/23
• Available networking devices and accessories that you can use in this project:
  • Cisco 2950/2960 series switches
  • Cisco ISR router 2620 series with all available modules

All types of network cables and connectors

Your task: Design and configure the LAN to meet the design requirements.

• The design document should include;
  1. A network diagram of the LAN with detailed information to show the functionality of each network device in the diagram.
  2. A site map that show the deployment location of each network device in the site
  3. A detailed list of the network inventories including;
     • The network devices with detailed specification and amount of each type
     • Network cables and estimated amount of each cable type in meters,
     • Any other accessories such as connectors and tools.
  4. An IP network addressing plan that specifies;
     • For each subnet, the network address, broadcast address, valid host address range that will be assigned to the PCs. Note that you need to spare 10% of the total addresses of each subnet for future development.
     • The IP address of each router interface.
     • Any unused address space
• The configuration document should include;
  1. Detailed configuration commands for all routers and switches.
  2. A Packet Tracer file implementing a simplified solution of the LAN.
     • On the Packet Tracer, include only 2 computers for each sub-network
  3. Screenshots from the Packet Tracer showing that you can connect between sub-networks and the gateway (using ping to verify the connectivity).
